20090187845 | METHOD OF PREPARING AN INTELLIGENT DASHBOARD FOR DATA MONITORING - A computer-implemented method of preparing an electronic dashboard with a data meter for showing a key performance index, KPI. On a first request, preparing a graphical presentation of a dataset, with multiple multi-dimensional data points, selected from a database by use of a set of metadata items or at least a portion of the metadata items; and on a second request, displaying a first value by means of the data meter. Following the first request, recording the set of metadata items. Rating the measure among other measures by calculating an index from values of the items in the set of metadata items. And, following the second request, providing the first value from a specified measure in a predefined way, where the measure is specified by means of: an enquired rating on the performance index, and/or an enquired value of the metric of use, and/or an enquired measure. | 07-23-2009 |
20080301539 | COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD AND A COMPUTER SYSTEM AND A COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM FOR CREATING VIDEOS, PODCASTS OR SLIDE PRESENTATIONS FROM A BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE APPLICATION - A computer-implemented method of preparing a presentation of a data set retrieved from a database, comprising the steps of: providing in a memory entities, of first metadata items, that respectively define which data to include in data sets retrievable from a data superset stored in the database. Further providing in the memory second metadata items which define properties of a presentation of the at least one data set by means of a graphical object specified by the properties. A graphical image of the data set is prepared by retrieving the data set defined by the first metadata items and by rendering of the data set in accordance with the second metadata items. The step of preparing a graphical image for multiple entities, of first metadata items, so as to provide a consecutive sequence of graphical images is repeated and the sequence is distributed for subsequent playback at a player station, disconnected from the database, so as to convey a collective presentation of the data sets in a progressive manner. | 12-04-2008 |
